Ransom — There has been discussion of a golf team being started for the 2011 golf season.
Western Plains High School has never offered golf as an extra curricular activity.

Golf season is during the same time as track season.

Some students are worried this golf team will hurt the track team’s success due to the fact people will go out for golf instead of track.

Track Coach Pat Flax said she would try to encourage athletes to multi-sport.

In a small school like Western Plains multi-sporting is very common because they are limited on students, she said.

“Track is a builder for other sports,” said coach Flax. “Track can be scary but good at the same time. It can bring you success because you don’t compete against anyone but yourself.”
